Caleb was on his way to the hospital when he received Liam’s call.

Liam spoke at length, then added one last sentence.

“She did paint a picture of you, after all, Caleb.”

Caleb looked at the sky outside; it was already approaching evening, and the streetlights were coming on.

The atmosphere was very much like that painting.

It was undeniable that her painting was quite good.

The car eventually stopped at the address Liam had given. It was a neighborhood where the property prices were not low. She had said she was preparing to move, so it turned out she had moved here.

Penny dared not make Caleb wait and was already downstairs, waiting for him ten minutes early.

She had soaked in the bath for so long that the water turned cold. At that moment, she felt light-headed and somewhat confused.

It was not until Caleb’s car stopped in front of her did she react, weakly opening the car door.

“Mr. Fergerson, I apologize for the trouble.”

Her voice was a bit hoarse. Clearly, something w

    Caleb had done all he could, and he had fulfilled his obligations.He was somewhat resistant to contact Penny because whenever he encountered her, nothing good ever came of it.Penny had been sitting there alone, looking very obedient because she had fallen ill.People were coming and going around her, but no one had approached to ask if she needed help.Caleb had put her in a chair and then returned to the car. As he opened the car door, he caught sight of someone going to her side out of the corner of his eye. It was not a man but a woman.Moreover, it was a woman he had seen before.“You little wench! I’ve finally found you!”The woman looked fierce and wicked. She raised her hand to shove Penny.Penny’s vision was blurry, and she was weak all over. After that shove, she hit her back directly on the chair, causing her to wince in pain.She looked up to find the woman who was with Nathan previously—the redhead with thick eyeliner. Her makeup was so heavy that her original ap

    After she showed Caleb the way, Penny did not want to trouble him further. When she stood, she tried to keep as far away from his body as possible.Once they entered the same elevator, her legs were a little weak, and she could not help but lean back against the cold wall.Caleb’s hand caught her. He did not intend to help any more than that.When the elevator doors opened on the fifth floor, Penny’s fingers trembled as she searched her bag for her keys, but her vision was too shaky. She tried for a long time but could not insert the key into the keyhole.Caleb had no choice but to help her.After the door opened, he inevitably saw the interior of the house. It was very clean, but there were no men’s shoes in the entryway, only a few pairs of women’s slippers.He raised an eyebrow in confusion, looking down at Penny.Inside, the sound of a dog barking was heard. Nani was excited by the sound of the keys and ran over on all four legs.Seeing Caleb, her tail wagged even more joyf

    Caleb had some impression of this face. It belonged to an employee of Fergerson Corporation, so he just nodded slightly.Belle covered her mouth in surprise, glanced inside once, then glanced at Caleb again.Was Penny not married already? Her spouse could not possibly be Caleb. Otherwise, Liam would have called Penny his sister-in-law or whatnot, instead of telling her that she was his friend.However, it was nearing nighttime, and Mr. Fergerson was coming out of Penny’s house.Everyone at Fergerson Corporation knew how unsociable Mr. Fergerson was and that he did not talk much. He could not possibly meet a woman privately, even if Penny was his designer. Even if they needed to discuss the house, they would have met at Fergerson Corporation.A spark flashed in Belle’s mind, and she inexplicably thought of the painting Penny had drawn.She had thought it was just a casual painting, but now it seemed that Penny and Mr. Fergerson had been having an affair from the start.Indeed, ho

    Even so, Amber did have the final say here.Liam had been thinking about how to get Belle to head out tomorrow. Since Belle’s family was not wealthy, she was always cautious and fragile when she was with him. If he said something wrong, he feared she would overthink it.Liam thought and thought again but could not come up with any good solutions.Time quickly passed, and the next day had arrived.When Penny woke up on the sofa, her fever had subsided, but her throat was still uncomfortable.She got up and heated a cup of warm water for herself. Thinking of what happened last night, she could not help but rub her forehead, wondering if her luck was truly bad this year.She also thought about Amber. She could not visit the night before, so she had to visit today.However, just as she was lifting her cup, the doorbell rang. It was Belle.Belle had brought a light breakfast. Seeing Penny’s face looking not too terrible, she sighed in relief.“You had a high fever last night. Here’

    Penny’s eyelids twitched heavily, and she almost subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.Nonetheless, Amber did not let go and merely looked at Belle with confusion.Belle’s face turned pale. Her eyes moved over Liam, then to Penny, finally stopping on the two hands that were held together.She knew Madam Fergerson. Last night, she wanted to visit Madam Fergerson and had even taken money out of her own salary to buy a suitable gift, but she was called back home by a phone call from Liam.Belle knew that her family was not a good match for Liam’s, but she truly liked him, and Liam was good to her as well.What was going on right now?Liam’s mother was holding Liam's and Penny’s hands?Was Penny not already married?Penny even had an affair with Mr. Fergerson, and it looked like she was also Liam’s girlfriend.This relationship was too messy; so messy that Belle wanted to vomit.She had regarded this woman as a friend, only to find out that she had been played from the ver

    Belle felt somewhat wronged and also a bit unconvinced.“Madam Fergerson, what I just said was all true. Penny and Mr. Fergerson…”She was not done speaking when Amber interrupted her.“Caleb’s business is his own choice. It’s no use talking to me about it. I’m only his elder and will not interfere in his private life.”Her tone was cold, and as she said this, her gaze fell on Penny again.She was somewhat incredulous that Penny possessed such ability to tame Caleb.Even if Caleb did not like the one at home, he would not seek pleasure outside.However, thinking about their two encounters at the hospital and seeing her stubborn and wronged appearance, was she not also moved?If such tactics were used, Caleb might be hooked.As someone who had been in this circle for many years, Amber, for the first time, found that she could also be mistaken.“Take care of yourself.”With these words, she left.The room fell into silence.After a while, Penny rubbed her temples, “Mr. Jones

    For a fleeting moment, Penny even considered whether to just be honest with Caleb so that she would not have to hide and lie all the time to Liam.However, considering Caleb’s attitude toward the Sullivans and that she was currently designing his house, it was crucial to maintain a good relationship to avoid any awkward encounters.Moreover, Caleb had helped her a lot during this period.If a conflict were to arise, Penny knew she would be at a disadvantage.She stood up, feeling exhausted.She was mentally and physically tired.“Aunt Lucy, I’m feeling a bit unwell tonight, so I won't be coming down for dinner. You don’t need to call for me.”Aunt Lucy was a bit troubled. “Uh, Ms. Sullivan, I used the same excuse last time, and Mr. Fergerson was somewhat upset back then.”Penny forced a smile. “It’s okay. There’s no hope for reconciliation between him and me anyway.”To be precise, it was not about her relationship with him but his relationship with Mrs. Fergerson.If Penny t

    Penny instantly rose to her feet, and upon opening the door, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the staircase.It was not the sound of just one person’s footsteps.Next, a man’s voice was heard.“Is someone keeping a dog here?”It was Caleb’s voice.Penny hastily retreated to her room, shutting the door.Lucy was about to deny it, but she also heard the barking of a dog. What on earth was going on?Caleb’s face turned grim. “Get rid of it.”Lucy did not dare to reply. She waited until he entered his room before quickly heading downstairs.At this time, Penny also came out, stopping her.“Aunt Lucy, did you forget to close Nani’s cage?’Aunt Lucy patted her head, her face filled with apologies.“I must’ve forgotten to lock the door. Nani is so smart now. She can open the door herself if it’s not bolted.”Lucy hurriedly walked downstairs. “Ms. Sullivan, don’t worry. I’ll lock her up right away.”Penny’s heart was racing. She glanced at the tightly closed door down

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

    Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly.

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.

    Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive. Just a little sob story from her and Linda could spew out some really nasty words.Linda spoke up again at this moment."Slut, we'll get you killed sooner or later!"She touched her face as she glared fiercely at Penny as if she wanted to devour her alive.Khloe quickly intervened, saying, "Linda, let's go.
